Most expensive fish bought.

**Shaggy** · 07-15-2005, 05:15 PM

What was your most expensive fish that you have bought so far.

Mine was like a $25 fish, forgot what it was because it was way back when I first started.

My Synodontis Angelicus were $18 each, and I got a adult Sci. Fryeri that was either $20 or $25. He was really nice though.

**Shaggy** · 07-15-2005, 05:35 PM

Was? Did he die?

**Osiris** · 07-15-2005, 05:36 PM

I have spent $25 most on fish, until my tank is ready for lionfish then be more like $50-60 lol.

But usually spend $150-$300 on lots of fish at one time when buying. Usually spend $20-25 per fish when dealing with local breeders.

I have 10 discus and paid $150 for almost all. 2 of them were $100.00 but all the rest were at least $150.00 and 2 above that. But thats the price you pay for those fish I guess, at least for really nice ones.

**Baby_Baby** · 07-15-2005, 05:50 PM
